Abstract

Studying Chinese and foreign art exchanges is an essential part of art history, and it has solid epochal significance in today’s globalization. Today, political, economic, and cultural exchanges between countries are becoming more frequent and gradually deepening. This environment also affects art theory, which has opened the transformation of decentralization and global perspectives. Art history, its breakthroughs and progress often require the introduction of new theories or the shift of research perspectives. This article expects to use the unique perspective of “global history” in art history, attach importance to the interaction and communication of multiple civilizations, use cultural communication, comparative art, and other related theories to divide the art exchanges between China and foreign countries before modern globalization and summarize the art of Chinese and foreign countries. The three historical stages and peaks of exchanges are the introductions of Buddhism in the ancient period (before the 6th century A.D.), the prosperity of the Maritime Silk Road in the Middle Ages (6th–15th century A.D.), and the arrival of missionaries in the modern period (16th–18th century A.D.). Magnificent. Focus on exploring the characteristics of foreign civilizations’ art communication to China, then come to the characteristics and limitations of China’s treatment of foreign civilizations and art communication: limited openness, passive communication, discriminatory cultural mindset, integration and evolution. It clarifies the importance and necessity of openness to the development and creation of art and has historical reference significance for the current art exchanges between China and foreign countries.
